How to Set Your Eating Window and Fasting Notifications

Nutrify's fasting notifications keep you informed when your fast is complete, when your eating window opens and closes, and when you pass key biological phase milestones. Here's how to configure them.

Opening Fasting Notification Settings

1. Open the Fasting screen (tap the Fasting card on your Home screen).
2. Tap the settings icon in the top-right corner.
3. The settings sheet shows a Notifications section with a master toggle and sub-toggles for each notification type.

Master Notifications Toggle

The top toggle controls all fasting notifications at once. Turn it off to silence all fasting alerts without changing your individual preferences. Turn it back on to restore them.

Individual Notification Types

When the master toggle is on, you can fine-tune which events trigger a notification:

Fast Complete

Fires when you reach the end of your target fast duration. For example, on a 16:8 plan this fires 16 hours after your start time.

Toggle: Fast Complete switch.

Eating Window Open / Close

Fires at the start and end of your eating window. This is especially useful for 16:8, 18:6, and other plans with a defined eating period. You'll get one notification when your eating window begins and another when it ends.

Toggle: Eating Window switch.

Phase Changes

Fires each time you cross a new fasting phase threshold (Fat Burning at 4 hours, Ketosis at 12 hours, Autophagy at 16 hours, etc.). The notification includes a brief description of what's happening in your body.

Toggle: Phase Changes switch.

💡 Phase Change notifications are useful if you want to be aware of the biological milestones without constantly checking the app.

How Notifications Are Delivered

Nutrify pre-schedules phase notifications when you start a fast, so they arrive even if the app is in the background or closed. Fast Complete and Eating Window notifications work the same way.

⚠️ Notifications require permission. If you previously denied permission, go to your device Settings > Nutrify > Notifications and enable them before toggling these settings.

Disabling All Fasting Notifications

Simply turn off the master Notifications toggle on the fasting settings sheet. All fasting notification types will stop until you re-enable the master switch.
